Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an electrochemical cell and a method of manufacturing the same. The electrochemical cell comprises: a first conductive layer; a metal oxide layer provided on the first conductive layer, the metal oxide layer comprising a plurality of adjacent metal oxide cells, spaced from one another; a functional dye layer provided on the metal oxide layer; a second conductive layer; an electrolyte layer provided between the functional dye layer and the second conductive layer, wherein at least one of the first and second conductive layers is transparent; and wherein the functional dye layer is formed from an organic solvent ink.. In another embodiment, the electrochemical cell comprises: a first conductive layer; a metal oxide layer provided on the first conductive layer; a functional dye layer provided on the metal oxide layer; a second conductive layer; and an electrolyte provided between the functional dye layer and the second conductive layer, wherein at least one of the first and second conductive layers is transparent; and wherein the functional dye layer is formed from a binary solvent ink, comprising a first solvent and a second solvent.
